CURSE Or GRACE

CURSE Or GRACE
Judgment Day


Friday afternoon they left for Jogjakarta using Ratna's car. On the way Panji tried to contact his uncle but there was no answer. For the past few days, my uncle has not picked up the phone from Panji or answered the message he sent. One thing is awkward according to Panji because usually uncle quickly responds to whatever needs Panji and Nissa.


"I think Ratih should know what his father has done. And I think Ratih should apologize to Sister Lily, even if it's not her doing but maybe with that she can be healed." Ratna conveyed her proposal.


"But what did it right Pak lurah? We don't know for sure. We have to get the information first from your father or mother." Nissa answered Ratna's proposal.


"Had it been true that the one who did was his father, wouldn't it add to the mental burden of Ratih? Is it fair for Ratih that he has to bear the consequences of his father's actions?' Panji answered.


"I think all this time he lived with that pressure, the ugliness of Pak Lurah has spread everywhere. But for this case to be more personal, I don't know what to do. Just imagine we are all in the position of Ratih. Is Brother Ratna going to come to Sister Lily to apologize? It takes a big guts for that."


"And it takes a lot of guts for us to ask him to do that. I agree that if we have the truth, we must tell Ratih, whether Ratih will do it or not, we return it to Ratih." The banner makes its decision. Nissa and Ratna were silent.


They arrived in Jogja late at night and headed for the inn they had ordered to rest. Panji takes his own room while Nissa and Ratna room for two. Panji threw himself into a soft mattress Imagining tomorrow was a stressful day in his life. The same thing happened with Nissa.


Azan shubuh still sounded faint in the distance when the three just folded his alphabet. They came out of the inn looking for Jogja culinary in the morning to have breakfast together before finally reaching the prison gate where Mr. Panji was there.


One of the officers immediately recognized Panji whose face was almost similar to his father greeted him enthusiastically and immediately brought them to the jailer's head room. Kepla the prison warden shook his third hand tightly.


"Good Morning Panji, it's an honor for me to meet you all here.I didn't get to meet when you came the other day."


"Thank you sir, we came to see my father."


"You can meet him here, the time is freer, safer. Your father is very much respected here, he turned these imprisoned people for the better, into human beings. Making all of us look at life believing that what God destined us for is the best, and I hear you have the same power as Panji, I'm sure you're capable of receiving it well."


The door was knocked from the outside when the jailer was still telling about how the influence of his father Panji in prison with language that he could express, his Father Panji Entrance accompanied by a prison guard. Panji hugged his father as well as Nissa, Ratna kissed his father Panji's hand. Kepla the warden and his men left them and rushed out of the room.


"You're so pretty like your mother Nissa, how was your school? Still smooth?" His father still stroked Nissa's kepla and kissed her many times.


"Still Sir, I now go to school in Jakarta, live with Mas Panji. This is Ratna, Mas Panji's friend." His father turned to smile at Ratna who was met with a smile and a nod of respect from Ratna.


"Have you met mom?"


"Not yet, the plan from here we will be there, I will move my mother to Jakarta, I know well with the psychologist who served there."


"Why? Didn't your mother get the best care there?"


"I'm sure you don't have to live there, we already know the truth about the murder you committed. The question is Siaoa who stabbed Pak lurah from behind? Lily's own sister or Uncle?"


"His father Panji was aghast, his face immediately pale when he heard Panji who immediately to his core point. He grabbed a chair on the warden's head and sat there restlessly. His face changed with a ceoat, he was already smiling again.


"Police do not need to look for anything else because you have claimed to be a sole confessor. The police do not need to know that Mr. Lurah came to thank him for his heart disease healed by the father, the pot was reset, the window and curtains of Mr. Slamet's house that he closed, the father closed, the body that you turned, and from where the wound in the eyes and nosed the father." Panji took a sitting position facing his father, he smiled.


"It's amazing you're a banner! Can't believe I managed to educate you to be this great, well I'll tell you the details you may not have been able to." His father took a glass of mineral water, changed the position of sitting on the sofa in the room to make it more comfortable Panji, Nissa and Ratna did the same thing sitting around him.


"A few days before the incident, Lily was raped by Mr. Lurah, Lily recognized him directly because his son was his friend, he often went to Pak Lurah's house. The incident made us all in great shock, especially your uncle and aunt, as well as your mother. Lily was like her own child, she loved her like she loved you Nissa, but there was nothing we could do. The influence of Pak Lurah is very strong, Lily is also directly stressed not to be invited to the hospital for a visa at that time." Back he drank his mineral water, and whether it was a cigarette who was lying on the table, his father Panji immediately ignited it.


"You're right! Mr. Lurah came to thank him, at that time bada isya, after he expressed his intention he shook my hand, I was still reluctant, I hope he just died, not healed.


Your uncle came home wanting to take his family to Jakarta, his revenge flirted when he saw Pak Lurah, he grabbed a knife fenced and stabbed him firmly. Your mother just came out from the inside to see who came, she immediately shouted and fainted. I moved quickly, I looked around without any witnesses, I told your uncle to leave, changed his blood-stained shirt with my clothes still hanging in the clothes. I told him to run away and be quiet about this incident.I will be responsible, he was flabbergasted not to believe what I did. I said this for Lily."


"Uncle comes here often after that?"


Often, he even begged me to let him confess, I kept asking him to be quiet, it's my destiny here, I'm useful here with my strength, you see? The guards have no hesitation in telling you about me, as well as your uncle. I'm just worried about you, I ask him to look after you and take care of you."


"But that doesn't mean justifying his actions! the wrong one to punish!" Ratna spoke with some emotion but still tried to be polite to her father Panji. He smiled back at Ratna.


" I agree with you pretty! But your uncle's been punished, he's suffered inner birth, Lily ain't got nobody else, you know? his mother is in the same place as your mother." Panji, Ratna and Nissa were dumbfounded.


"Has Baoak been asking mom to pretend to faint back then, pretending to be depressed to this point?" Nissa attacked her father, Ratna was surprised to hear Nissa question, she just smiled.


"You're smart, son, but your conclusions aren't one hundred percent correct! momu really fainted back then. I put him in the front seat, he just woke up after me and the police left the house. The next day he visited me at the police station. He did see it happen. I asked him to shut up, admit he didn't see anything. He agreed. Suddenly I was shocked when your uncle said he was in the waiting room. Your uncle said it was his choice, not your uncle's persuasion, not mine."


Panji and Nissa's bodies trembled violently when they heard the fact about her mother. They could not understand why both parents chose to leave them to defend others. The feeling of anger and disappointment to his parents filled their blood until their brains were boiling.


"I know you're disappointed and hate us for our choice, which is why I don't want to tell Panji the truth. But you must have seen Lily's condition, and your mother and I believe you can live without us, but Lily needs her father. I'm sorry, forgive your mother too, every choice has consequences. And I believe our choice was right, I saw the evidence in front of my eyes! You guys are able to get through this well. I see no longer my two teenage children but two adults who are ready to navigate your destiny."


Panji and Nissa could say nothing more. Their mouths were blocked, they remembered how lily was. Nissa had heard that the mental hospital Lily only wanted to eat if her father fed her. Uncle came every day just to feed Lily. What's Lily's fate if uncle goes to jail? Mr. Lurah deserves to die. So many people have suffered because of it. Many people who party celebrate the death of Pak lurah and now those who have to bear the consequences.


Nissa moved to her father, took a hand and kissed him. He spread his head on his father's lap a sign he sincerely accepted his father's decision. Panji was dumbfounded, but before long he did the same. His father immediately cried while rubbing the heads of his two children and kissed him. The three hugged while crying. Ratna's eyelids were unable to hold the water that pushed her to spill over her cheeks..


You have been sent back to his room. The warden's head saw that their eyelids were all wet. When the three lined up to say goodbye he was still cleaning something on his desk.


"I don't know the truth, but I'm sure it wasn't your father! that's why I arranged your meeting here. But don't worry, even if we're here to need your father I promise you won't hold him for longer. I promise you he'll be free before you two get married!" The chief pointed at Panji and Ratna.


"That means it'll be a very long time Commander." Panji laughs. Ratna's face immediately met in red. Ratna stepped on Panji's toes with the heel of her shoe. Panji grimaced in pain.
